Hi Brad, everyone.
Here's what worked for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="hdlg:filesystem"
xmlns:hdlg="http://www.hdlg.info/XML/filesystem">
<html>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="hdlg:folder"
xmlns:hdlg="http://www.hdlg.info/XML/filesystem">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="document(hdlg:file/@url)"
xmlns:hdlg="http://www.hdlg.info/XML/filesystem">
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="topic">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="topic">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="topic">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This XSL produced the output I described in my original email.
<html>
<body>
<ul>
<!-- The following information comes from files2.xml -->
<li xmlns:hdlg="http://www.hdlg.info/XML/filesystem">file:/C:/folder1/>
<li xmlns:hdlg="http://www.hdlg.info/XML/filesystem">file:/C:/folder2>
<ul>
<!-- The following information comes from the referenced
DITA files -->
<li>topicA
<ul>
<li>topicB</li>
<li>topicC</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
..
</ul>
<!-- The following information comes from files2.xml -->
<li xmlns:hdlg="http://www.hdlg.info/XML/filesystem">file:/C:/folder3>
..
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
Mark
